Book summary:
Hercule Poirot, the Belgian detective, is back with another stunning mystery.
Poirot, alongside his friend, Captain Hastings, is vacationing in a hotel on a cliff. Next to the hotel is a strange building called End House. The owner of End House is a young woman named Nick Buckley. She is pretty, a daredevil, and a survivor. She has escaped three near-death experiences. But Poirot isn’t quite sure that they were simply accidents…
When Nick nearly dies for a fourth time, Poirot is sure. Someone is trying to kill Miss Buckley, but why? What does Nick have that the murderer wants?

Thoughts: Agatha Christie is literally the best mystery author in the world. I’ve only read two Hercule Poirot mysteries, but they are both so good. Just so you know, Hercule Poirot is a series, but it doesn’t have to be read in order. Also, I don’t really have a maturity rating on my reviews, but I think this one calls for it. I would say this is a book for older teens, maybe not for younger kids. 😁
